At the beginning of 2013, Asure Software undertook a survey of workplace managers around the globe. The objective was to further understand workplace utilisation, the challenges in managing shared workspace and the trends for the future.

How new technologies will change how people connect with each other and serve customers tomorrow.
The Leader’s Guide to the Future of Work, featuring Gartner Research, introduces you to a world where technology helps people connect better – with each other and with their customers. The workplace as we know it today is evolving into a digital, virtual work space, where work becomes more fluid, more project-based and more mobile than today.
Where teams communicate and collaborate more effectively, beyond devices, physical locations and functions – even beyond the boundaries of the enterprise. And where humans and machines not only work together, but complement each other effortlessly.

The way we work is evolving, challenging companies of all types to rethink their approach to space and the workplace experience. Leading commercial real estate firm, CBRE, looks at the trends shaping the physical workplace and best practices in performance-led workplace design. Download the white paper now.

Offices aren’t productivity factories anymore—they’re collaboration centers where individuals and groups can develop their best ideas. That means building out an office takes a whole new approach, and it isn’t just about using aesthetics and shiny toys to attract top talent (although that is part of it). Successful offices are functional tools that bring technology and people together so they can do their best work. Cisco® Collaboration tools bring people together to speed the decision-making process and help you execute on your most innovative ideas while cutting operational waste. Bring Cisco Collaboration to your workplace and create a workplace that works.

In collaborative spaces, people naturally share ideas, which leads to innovation and growth. But how do you design
a workplace that provides a highly collaborative atmosphere and that incorporates what people want? According
to the Cisco® 2014 Connected World Technology Report, the top five workplace trends are:
• Flexibility and coworking
• Space customization
• Employee wellness
• Sustainability
• Bring-your-own-device (BYOD) programs

When thinking about how the workforce is evolving, you need to think about what really matters to employees and how you can integrate technology in the workplace for the digital nomads of today. Corporate real estate, IT, and HR executives need to do a lot to meet those needs and achieve their HR goals.
Cisco has the expertise needed to deliver high-quality mobility and collaboration solutions. We make business-critical communications possible in real time, across multiple channels. Cisco Workforce Experience offers are complete, enterprise-class solutions designed to scale smoothly and make your vision of the digital workspace a reality.

The modern workplace is anywhere
Complex work. Specialised teams all over the place. They’re in offices, homes, hotels, cars and airports. It could hardly be any more different to the days when people sat in neat rows of desks. That’s the modern reality of business life—it’s happening everywhere at once.
Not only that, it’s happening on all kinds of devices, from desktop to mobile. And every generation of worker expects to have its workstyle accommodated.
Today, co- workers mingle flexibly in pairs and groups, and those teams thrive on exchanging creative energy. They meet up in spaces designed specifically to encourage the cross-pollination of ideas. Their disruptive new concepts are where the next big growth opportunities are. The modern workplace is one where ongoing innovation is valued above all else. And flexibility extends well beyond four walls.
Think about the way you work today and how it has evolved. Chances are it’s no longer 9 ‘til 5.
Mobile employees, contract workers, fr

Today, technology is all about enabling business. Organizations of many types and sizes are developing, upgrading or replacing mobile applications to reflect changes in the workplace. Across industries, employees are working more while mobile, using multiple devices. When they return to the office, they are capitalizing on more flexible work environments and approaches to work.
Many organizations are facilitating this anytime, anywhere work
with mobility initiatives that provide mobile devices or allow
employees to use their own. They are also modifying workspace
designs, creating mobile workstations and mobile “hot spots” to
enable workers to easily connect to enterprise systems when
they return to the office.
Enabling employees to work better can help organizations
boost productivity and improve customer service. The real
challenge is to continue supporting new ways of working, now
and in the future, without compromising security.

Workplace expectations are changing and companies are ditching outdated technology in favor of flexible, cloud-based services, freeing their employees to work from anywhere. From modern office spaces to popular business tools, this eBook breaks down the top trends of the workplace revolution, including:
1. The age of Millennial workers
2. Modern workspaces
3. Improving employee productivity and satisfaction
4. The rise of remote work

Throughout the twentieth century, the efficiency of real estate
portfolios was quantified primarily in terms of a building’s
cost per square foot and the average number of “usable square
feet” it provided for each person who worked in it. By these
measures, the workplace contributed to an organization’s
bottom line by (1) getting smaller and/or (2) fitting more
people into the same amount of space.
Meanwhile, mobile technologies and new economic and social
pressures ushered in new ways of working. By 2011, more
than 60 percent of large organizations worldwide had
implemented programs and practices that gave people more
choice about where, when, and how to do their jobs.2 But
although a few new workplace metrics (“collaborative seats per
person,” “desk-sharing ratios”) have emerged, the focus on
reducing direct costs (through allocating fewer square feet
to “assigned seats” in individual offices or workstations)
remains paramount

IT services such as mobile devices, smart applications and cloud-based services are transforming the way we live, work and communicate. Global technology services and businesses are embracing digital transformation, introducing Intelligent Spaces to unleash worker productivity and accelerate the pace of business. The workplace plays a critical role in an organization’s digital transformation. Forward-looking organizations recognize that you can’t build a digital business without building a digital workplace.

Keeping up With the Changing Workplace
The workplace has dramatically evolved over the past decade. The saying "work is no longer somewhere you go, but something you do" reflects the cultural change brought by a new generation of workers with an insatiable need for flexibility, collaboration, and openness.
This Executive Brief will help understand the concept of Future of Work and provides a framework to drive transformation across your WorkSpace, WorkCulture, and WorkForce.
